Many of the venues cited the recent allegations against Hopkins as the reason for cancelling shows. “We do not take these allegations lightly and stand firmly in support of survivors of sexual assault everywhere,” Chicago’s Subterranean wrote in a statement. Blue Skies Turn Black in Montreal wrote that they “cannot/will not support sexual predators/anti semitism in our scene and hence this event unequivocally is cancelled.”

After an anonymous woman gave an interview to Jezebel describing an alleged sexual assault by Hopkins, the label Polyvinyl announced that it would no longer distribute the band’s music. Father/Daughter Records, who released the band’s debut album, also cut ties with the band and announced they would no longer sell PWR BTTM records or merch. Two of PWR BTTM’s touring members distanced themselves from the band, and multiple tour openers—T-Rextasy, Nnamdi Ogbonnaya, Tancred, and iji—all pulled out of their planned shows.
